There was this night
when I was trying to study
Mama came into my room
with a cup of coffee
As I reached for the cup
it was as warm as her embrace
made me feel
like I'm in the safest place
And as I took a sip
it was bittersweet
reminded me of life
the trials and success that I would meet
As I finished it
I knew that I have
all her tender care
and genuine love
But now that she's far away
I wish that I would see
my Mama by the door
and her warm cup of coffee
--
though i may not say it that often, though we may not be that close, you're my mama -- i love you.
